Analysis

Critics call it one of the first films depicting corruption in public life and the futile struggle against it The film also throws light on the unholy nexus between politicians and media, also focusing on the impact of drug abuse and addiction The movie is realistic and has a measured pace throughout and the climax leaves audience spellbound The movie has struck the right balance between commercial and art cinema; "bridge cinema" in the true sense The film raises questions but refuses to answer them The movie’s screenplay is its greatest strength

The movie also depicts the life style of the upper class, the rich and the powerful The houses, the gardens, their boy friends, girl friends, behavior with their servants, their inter action with other people, their language, etc

Ilayaraja’s score too plays an important role in the film Music is almost non-existent All that you hear is the sound of typewriter keys, clicking cameras, screeching cars, noise of television, bullets sliding inside a pistol, a dog barking, feet running, and the creaking of metal in no specific order The silence at the scene of the accident scene is haunting There are no songs in this movie

Every movie directed by Shankar Nag is a master piece It would be wise to remember that with Malgudi days, he inhabits the heart of every Indian, not just Kannadigas He is the director that Kannada cinema celebrates the most, after Puttanna Kanagal

Notes

Shankar Nag made the film in two months flat The political atmosphere of the country was in turmoil The sanctity of the "Golden Temple in Punjab" had been desecrated; the air was charged with helplessness, anger and confusion While shooting climax of the film, Ananth Nag who was playing the politician, who was to be shot in the courtyard of his house He originally wanted to work it around the assassination of Indira Gandhi Shankar Nag was dead sure that it had to be that way and changed ending of film

Plot
